2013 Map of Bellingham

About this map

Bellingham anchors this corner of the Minnesota prairie, situated at the intersection of Us-75 and Co HWY-30. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Yellow Bank River and its S Fork, which cut through the agricultural grid toward the Minnesota River at the boundary between Big Stone and Lac qui Parle counties. The distribution of small rural burial grounds, including Yellow Bank Cem, Immanuel Cem, and Salem Cem, indicates the footprint of early family and congregational settlement in the township. Near the town center, researchers can find the Post Office and the neighboring Bellingham Cem and Saint Pauls Cem, providing a clear view of the community's local center of gravity during this period.
